Let’s sell your home free. Strike is here to redefine the way you move. After 200 years of high fees and pointless jargon, the industry needs to change — and we’re the ones changing it. We bring together local expertise and technology to make moving easy. And free.
Selling your home for free is at the heart of what we do. We work differently than traditional estate agents. We use technology to be more effective and don’t have expensive high street branches, so we can pass the savings onto you.
We recommend useful services from our partners along the way — and if you choose one of these optional services, our partner pays us a referral fee. And if you don’t choose to use them, we’ll still sell your home for free. No pressure, no awkwardness — just a fantastic, free service.

That is my experience too. Constant lies. Didn't remove the house from the market for weeks despite the vendor telling them to. Claimed never to have received emails. Told our mortgage company that they were waiting on the vendor to confirm availability for the valuation but the vendor heard nothing and when we gave the vendors contact details to the mortgage co the valuation took place within 24 hours. If you want a smooth purchase then steer clear of property's on sale with Strike. ...

As Strike don't charge commission, and make their money through added extras and referrals, why would the Strike agent intentionally play you against another seller? There's simply no financial incentive to do so.
You was probably gazumped. If an offer comes in, any agent has to present that to the seller (legally.) If the seller gets a better offer, they are free to take that offer. I know it sucks for you, but I really can't see how this is the agent's fault? ...

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
